Tonight hasn't been quite as interesting, most of my night has been spent drinking Red Stripe and listening to Ken Boothe/Alton Ellis/Byron Lee records, JAMAICAN SKA FTW!!!!! But it's been a very relaxing evening, I even posted on the HP2 blog (although I forgot to sign in, I'll let you guess which post is mine [hmmmm.....I wonder which it could be?]). Those Jamaican songs are such beautifully crafted pop-songs, memorable melody's, simple yet universal structure, and easily some of the most danceable music on the planet.
Right now I'm taking a trip down the opposite end of the "ska?" spectrum and listening to the new captain squeegee album, a solid album to be sure. I sure the term "ska" very very very loosely to describe this one, these guys pretty much did away with the little ska influence they had on their music for this one if favor of a much more progressive rock/punk sound, way hard?
That's all I've got for now I suppose.
